Walking Talking

Walking, talking. Watching, caring.
This is how we grow
This is how we learn to know
Breathing, singing. Forgiving, healing.
This is how we grow
This is how we learn to know
Life’s got plans for you
But you don’t know just where
the road is gonna lead
Sometimes you gotta make that leap of faith
and I’ll be beside you.
Sharing, giving. Loving, living.
This is how we grow
This is how we learn to know
No matter where you go
whichever path you take, you cannot escape
the you that’s got to look you in the face
and I’ll be beside you no matter where you go
whichever path you take, you cannot escape
the you that’s got to look you in the face.
I’ll be beside you.

Bus Stops

Riding the bus again, takes me down town
Rocking cradle streets, where to go now?
Bus stops, faces come and go
And then we start again
Rain washes clean, the streets shine like silver
Damp soaked in, made me shiver
Bus stops, faces come and go
And then we start again
It’s not what you know or who you know
But whether anyone takes the time
Or spares the dime
Maybe I’m left behind
Or maybe we’re going nowhere?
These shoes and rags and all the things
I have in this LinkedIn tote bag
A little Silicon Valley souvenir
That trickled down to me…
Steel glass concrete beams rise above me
On these mean streets, shadows haunt me
Bus stops, faces come and go
And then we start again
It’s not what you know or who you know
But whether anyone takes the time
Or spares the dime
Maybe I’m left behind
Or maybe we’re going nowhere?
These shoes and rags and all the things
I have in this LinkedIn tote bag
A little Silicon Valley souvenir
That trickled down to me…
On these Seattle streets

Wild Wind
03:48

It's a wild wind that blows
It's a wild wind that follows you here
This wild wind reveals
This wild wind, it fuels your fear
Give me shelter from the storm
Pray these walls around my home protect me
Everything I've ever known
All the things I call my own and hold dear
And hold dear
And it's knocking on
And it’s knocking down
And we're holding on
As it’s blowing in
And it’s blowing in
And it’s knocking down everything
And we're holding on
We're holding on
It's a wild wind that blows
It’s a wild wind that blew us here
It tore us from our homes
And it tore us from the things we held dear
Let's travel on the breeze
Fill our sails and like the seeds
Carry me
Let's travel on the breeze
Fill our hearts and like the seeds carry me
Carry you and me
And we're sailing on
And we're sailing in
And we're holding on
As it’s blowing in
And we're moving on
And it’s blowing through everything
And we're holding on
We're holding on

I see you looking sad,
think the world’s gone mad, don’t you?
Think it’s such a mess, and I must confess I do too
Heart stuck on your sleeve – but it’s safe with you –
and you’re safe with me
So honey, put your money where your mouth is, go for it
Nobody but for you is gonna care one bit about it
Whatcha waiting for honey?
Take a baby step, use some elbow grease,
what you give doubles what you get
Hmm? Whatcha gonna do about it?
Why do you hesitate? I guess it’s better late than never
Try to take it slow; but you have to start, to know. Don’t you?
Making a little change makes you so scared,
makes you feel so strange
So honey, put your money where your mouth is, go for it
Nobody but for you is gonna care one bit about it
Whatcha waiting for honey?
Take a baby step, use some elbow grease,
what you give doubles what you get
Hmm? Whatcha gonna do about it? Whatcha gonna do?
Don’t wanna get pushed around?
You’ll have to stand your ground, won’t you?
Can you take a risk and not be an activist? I don’t know.
You want the world to be a better place for you,
a better place for me
So honey, put your money where your mouth is, go for it
Nobody but for you is gonna care one bit about it
Whatcha waiting for honey?
Take a baby step, use some elbow grease,
what you give doubles what you get
Hmm? Whatcha gonna do about it?
Hmm? Whatcha gonna do?

Holiday Song
03:53
|

The only call I here
Are the birds in the trees
Not alarmed, not afraid
It’s for you and for me
That’s the holiday song
And it’s playing right now
Past the clouds it is singing out loud
Sepia shadows in holiday light
Draw long as the day turns to night
No traffic to drown out
The children’s delight
Take a breath
Taste the scent
Open up to the wondrous not yet
Not doing is the source of regret
That’s the holiday song
And it’s playing right now
Past the clouds it is singing out loud
Sepia shadows in holiday light
Draw long as the day turns to night
No traffic to drown out
The children’s delight

Dreamy Girl
03:31
|

Wrapped in a sleepy sky
Bright with a harvest moon
We sat my love and I
Listening to the night
The stars so kind above
Shone with a silver grace
The time was ripe for love
In our warm embrace
Ooh, a perfect night for lovers
Ooh, a perfect place for love
Ooh, a perfect tune in harmony
Ooh, a perfect time for you and me
And when the poets sing
Of their sweet muse so rare
So do the Bard’s words ring
Into electric air
Love’s not Time’s fool, he claims
An ever-fixéd mark,
It is the star, he quoth
To every wandering bark
Ooh, a perfect night for lovers
Ooh, a perfect place for love
Ooh, a perfect tune in harmony
Ooh, a perfect time for you and me

I appeal to your conscience
I appeal to your sense
Of compassion and honour
To your self-respect
I appeal to ambition
I appeal to your “why?”
When our children remember
Will your name they decry?
Unprotected
We are strong when we are one
Set them free
We are strong when we are one
Bring them here
I appeal to your values
Ideas that inspired
These things that once shaped you
Are they still recognised?
I appeal to the village
In whose love you were raised
That you’re taking for granted
As you take and you take
and you take
We are strong when we are one
Set them free
We are strong when we are one
Bring them here
I appeal to your cunning
Your ego and pride
That will oust you from here
Just as it got you inside
I appeal to the future
To whatever comes next
Will the torch that you hand down
Be nearly as blessed
Unprotected
We are strong when we are one
Set them free
We are strong when we are one
Bring them here
We are strong when we are one
Set them free, bring them here, let them stay
